What are the expectations for Fallout 3's specs?

Do you guys think the T61p and its Quadro 570m can handle it?

 

What's a Quadro 570m? Is that like a 8600m GT? If true then I'm sure you'll be able to play the game. It doesn't look like a big improvement visually over their previous game (Oblivion), and the 8600 was fine for that one.

 

i dunno. that game is supposed to be Crysis level

 

Oh man I hope they don't make it Oblivion-style..but I guess this ship is sailed..

 

propably a little highger than those of oblivion considering that both games use the same game engine, however judging by what i've seen so far fallout 3 doesn't look that much better and imo it's an average looking game due to the terrible antialiasing and the muddy, low-resolution textures but graphics arn't the selling point of this game instead it should the gameplay, custmization and the setting which i believe will be superb.....i just can't wait..

 

what makes this ENgine special is you can mod mostly anything you want in it.

 

Hopefully they'll optimize it more than they did in oblivion. That was one unoptimized game. Also known as Shader Hell.

 

If it's like oblivion I'll be happy, my laptop can run that at native res pretty much maxed out with HDR

 

Yeah but if they took forever to optomize it it would've had a ship date into 2007.

For a game like Oblivion, I'd rather they get it done, get it stable, and then give us sliders and ini files to adjust what we need to optimize the experience.

Same thing for Fallout3, it's taken so long it was beginning to look like a DukeNukem expansion pack.

I think that the shader issue won't be as big a deal either since the gameplay style will be different too.

 

True. But since they're using the same game engine, I hope they've dons some optimizations. And that it scales resolutions better. Oblivion looked horrible at anything but native (on a 14" WXGA+ screen, playing on 1280x800). Compare that with, say, UT3 or bioshock (same engine), who scaled marvelously, and barely looked any different to my eyes.

 

Well, if it's only slightly more spec-intensive than Oblivion, then I'm good to go, since systemrequirementslab says my t61p passes Oblivion's reqs with flying colors.

But then again.. I meet the Bioshock recommended specs, but I haven't had luck with that even though others with t61p have reported success. Must be a driver issue... Or maybe the pirated game's fault >_>...

 

Yeah... maybe you should buy your games.
